# High and low tide times for Wilmington, NC

**Use case:** 

NOAA station 8658120 (34.227, -77.953) covers Wilmington, NC, where the mean range between high and low water is 4.3 ft and the tide is mixed. This example returns the next 7 days of high and low tides: the time of every turn, the height in feet against MLLW, and whether it is a high or a low - from the official CO-OPS service, in local time.

## Input

```json

    "8658120"
  ],
  "days": 7,
  "beginDate": "",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [NOAA Tides API - Tide Predictions, High Tide & Low Tide Times](https://apify.com/neverempty/noaa-tide-predictions-api.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/neverempty/noaa-tide-predictions-api.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/neverempty/noaa-tide-predictions-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
